It was a must win game to qualify for the Florida finals on a very hot day at Burnaby Lake where the boys have been undefeated all year. The boys had a sluggish start but were able to score early on a strong run and cross by Eric Dove that Daniel Pervan converted at 8 minutes. The Victoria team then started to create chances and tied the game at 20 minutes with some good interplay and finishing. The boys reacted strongly with Robert Hamilton scoring with a powerful dipping shot at 28 minutes and shortly thereafter Race Williams scored on a free kick to earn the boys a 3-1 lead heading into the second half. They came out strong and determined in the second half and scored again at 45 minutes with Race continuing his torrid pace followed by a long range strike by Thomas Tassone at 60 minutes. Race Williams who again was dangerous and lively all game long completed his hat trick with a powerful volley at 68 minutes. The boys responded extremely well to capture a well earned victory under a pressure packed situation and a birth at the North American finals in Tampa in November of this year. Well done team!

Weather : Overcast Warm
Mountain FC - 1 : 2 - Coastal FC
Half-time score : 0:1 (mtn:oppos)
The boys had the opportunity to clinch 2nd spot and a trip to Florida by tying or beating Coastal FC. Play was dominated by Mountain in the first half but several good scoring chances went begging. Just prior to half time Coastal scored a fortunate goal on an intended cross that made its way into the far corner of the Mountain goal. The goal deflated the boys and Coastal was able to go ahead by 2 goals with 15 mintes remaining due to poor defending on a corner kick. Mountain scored a late but important goal by Parker Ellis to complete the scoring. The boys still have the opportunity to qualify for the finals by beating WestCoast Capitals at home next week.

Location : Abbotsford - Bateman Park
Weather : Overcast
Mountain FC - 0 : 1 - Abbotsford
Half-time score : 0:0 (mtn:oppos)
This was the second game of a back to back weekend for the boys. It was noticeable early that the energy level was not where it was from the previous day and that it would be a challenge to achieve a good result. The game was a scambly affair with much of the play in the middle third. Mountain did create some opportunities but were denied by the large Abbotsford keeper. With about 15 minutes remaining Abbotsford scored after a fortunate rebound off the cross bar. The boys conitnued to create but were denied by a strong game from the opposition keeper. A poor result in an important game.

Weather : Sunny / Warm
Mountain FC - 2 : 1 - Thompson - Okanagan FC
Half-time score : 0:0 (mtn:oppos)
The boys took to the field on a sunny and warm day in a peaceful setting in Vernon. Much of the play early resided in the oppositions half but the energy level of the boys was low and little opportunity was created in the first half. Ten minutes into the second half Mountain conceded a penalty shot that was converted into the first deficit of the year for the team. With fifteen minutes remaining Zach Or made a strong surging run on the left before crossing perfectly into the path of Race Williams for an easy header to level the score. The energy level was then elevated and after some excellent dribbling in the Okanagan box Race Williams was tripped leading to a Mountain penalty kick with five minutes remaining. Parker Ellis calmly placed the ball into the corner with the winning goal. This was not a strong performance by the boys but they demonstrated strong character in scoring the two late goals pull out the victory.
